Single on Valentine’s Day? Girl, stop tripping. Single ladies often get sad or depressed during Valentine’s Day, but for what?! It’s almost like the idea of not having a man or significant other to love on justifies the fact to mope around all day. For all of those lovely couples walking around out there, Valentine’s Day is a day for them to reflect on why they love each other. So, for this Valentine’s Day I am challenging all the single ladies out there to do the same. Stop playing yourself and realize everything you love about yourself. Girl, get out of those pajamas, get dressed up, and maybe throw some makeup while you are at it. As a woman, you are more powerful than any man can make you feel. Take yourself out on a date or if you have any gal pals have them tag along too. Life’s too short to go around feeling sorry for yourself so, do yourself a favor and be the woman that you are meant to be. These days being an empowered woman is the most attractive quality, which means you should not doubt yourself but entrust yourself with realizing your own self worth. Sometimes even a day where you lay around and eat some chocolate covered strawberries and watch your favorite Netflix show is better than having to stress about worrying where your next date is coming from. What will be will be so, do you boo! Personally, as a single woman my Valentine’s Day ritual is to get a nice fresh set at my favorite nail salon, beat my face to the God’s, and maybe take myself out to eat (if i’m really feeling myself). These days you have to live by if nobody’s going to do it for you, you have to do it for yourself. In my experience, treating yourself makes the wine even sweeter and the food taste even better! Practicing self-care is the best care. On that note, Valentine’s Day is for you so brush off that Fashion Nova dress and make that day something special
